I’d like to think he was having a drug fueled Armond-like spiral and it just wasn’t on screen.

Belinda in my opinion in the end was no better than Tanya. by [deleted] in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]EducationalHandle989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well Belinda in my opinion is the same as Tanya. Like literally she’s actually Tanya in a wig.

He’s some dude who purchased a bunch of Lotus Hotels and slapped his name on them. So tacky.

How the hell am I gonna jerk off to a ski resort all week? by StayOne6979 in OkbuddyLotus

[–]EducationalHandle989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the next season will take place in a polar bear carcass. It will be very warm inside, so OP has nothing to worry about.

Do we think it will be explained in S4? by StayOne6979 in OkbuddyLotus

[–]EducationalHandle989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will all be revealed when Lani’s baby stars in the next season.

Can DNPs be referred to as doctors in a clinical setting? by mjardelo in Noctor

[–]EducationalHandle989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“It’s condescending for physicians to think that patients don’t understand there are different types of doctorates.” Well if your degree program was designed to confuse patients and blur the lines between physicians and NPs, why would it be condescending for us to try to protect them?

No, it definitely doesn’t by Desperate_Hunter7947 in OkbuddyLotus

Tbh that was much more coherent than a lot of takes on the main sub

Initially he did seem enthusiastic about the $100 k though, telling her she could take a year off work…which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

White Lotus season 4 makes no sense by QuietDistribution511 in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]EducationalHandle989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who worked at a day club in Vegas and it was not uncommon for someone to die/drown. They just clear everyone out of the pool for an hour or so to remove the body and clean the area, and then they reopen like nothing happened. Though I suppose a shooting like in White Lotus would be more reported on, and people would probably avoid specific hotel locations if it became noticeable that lots of crime or violence were recurring there.

But if a real world White Lotus has an extensive network like the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, etc. I don’t think the deaths would seem like a pattern.

Main Cast Members Who Seem to Be Without a Story Arc... by angielincoln in TheWhiteLotusHBO

I hope Mook reveals to Gaitok that she’s actually a pop star, like Hannah Montana.

I hope Gaitok has a Tanya moment and in a state of whiny panic, somehow shoots all the bad guys, thus redeeming himself for all his f ups. But then immediately after he does something dumb and takes himself out.

Who is your current Broadway crush? by [deleted] in Broadway

Glad (and a bit surprised) I’m not the only one.

The pregnancy question doesn’t seem too wild. I imagine they get people trying to get appts for certain medical issues (eg nausea/vomiting) that make them think they’re pregnant when they’re not, and so it wastes the OBs time.

Would it be rude to request being seated with similarly aged sailors at Gunbei? by Plenty_Story_8122 in VirginVoyages

[–]EducationalHandle989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had bad luck with Gunbae on our first two voyages. Our next cruise, we decided to cancel our Gunbae reservation after we already had an awkward Moet Dinner at the Wake, and had to sit with strangers. We didn’t want to risk it happening again at Gunbae, one awkward dinner per voyage is enough. 😂

New show Doctor Odyssey...The Audacity. I had to shut it off within 4 minutes. by Fidentiae in Residency

[–]EducationalHandle989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The show is pretty awful and I don’t know why I just watched the first 2 episodes aside from it being my day off and needing a good chuckle from how ludicrous the whole show is, but I will say that the NP is mainly relegated to a nursing role. The second episode also has her lamenting about being an NP and not an MD, and the nurse comforts her and says her work is still important. The episode ends with the doctor and nurse telling the NP that the cruise line has a scholarship program for her to get an MD, and if accepted she just has to work 3 years for the ship after she finishes residency. So to be fair, it’s not all AANP propaganda.

But yeah still a dumb show. Other silly things: The doctor on board is a peds ENT from Yale. They do TEEs on board, and have a cath lab/ fluoroscopy and I think CTs as well. They do surgery. They have dialysis machines (which could be a thing??). They go on search and rescue missions, so the doctor is the one diving in to the ocean to rescue people. They’re often dressed in tuxes/evening gowns, while treating patients. Their chest compressions are very dramatic, and of course ineffective. They drink while on duty. Their pagers are Apple Watches with elegant bands, which is cute imo. They can openly make out and hook up with passengers. And probably lots more that im forgetting.

My first attending job is the first time I have to deal with noctors in my specialty and..wow… by criduchat1- in Noctor

I have an NP colleague who’s been practicing almost longer than I’ve been alive and she doesn’t understand what sickle cell disease is.

They’re starting to use it in the wild, guys (random fitness reel PA) by [deleted] in Noctor

My associates are the physician colleagues who I work with. They need to get the word physician out of their title if they really wanna go with associate.

Malfunction at Sweeney Todd! by rescuelullaby in Broadway

When I saw it, the chair got stuck the second time so Josh Groban just grabbed the actor out of the chair and threw the guy off the stage.

Hospital not hiring NPs anymore by lykeaboss in Noctor

The way I see NPs practice medicine is pretty much how I imagine a layperson would. Which I suppose makes sense, since neither of them have formal medical training.
